Michigan Bryce Underwood reacts to being named sophoore captain: 'It's a dream come true'

Michigan quarterback Bryce Underwood was voted team captain on Monday night as a sophomore, a decision that breaks the Wolverines’ usual pattern of seniors holding the top roles. Underwood, who started all 13 games at quarterback last year as a true freshman, called the honor “a dream come true” and thanked his teammates for trusting him as a leader. The other captain spots go to junior running back Jordan Marshall, senior defensive tackle Trey Pierce and graduate safety Rod Moore. Marshall said the changing college football landscape could make underclassmen captains more common, especially for players who leave after their third year. Behind closed doors, Marshall described Underwood’s leadership as grounded in calm communication, accountability and learning from teammates as they work to improve weaknesses.
